Yeah they want to do away with it because it sucks and you don't need it
because it hammers your network.  I have my XP machine only running ip
mounting shares on my qube 3.  What are you using for dns, because xp/2000
rely on dns to resolve the names of the computers on your lan and if you
don't have dns setup with your comuter names good luck.  My suggesstion
would be to setup dns on your qube , then point your xp machine to that dns
server.
